[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#539915: wpasupplicant: Spams syslog with CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS

[Michael Biebl]

Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 0.6.9-3
Severity: normal

Hi,

I'm using wpa_supplicant via NetworkManager (autostarted by dbus).
I get a lot (multiple hundreds) of those messages in my /var/log/syslog:

Aug  4 02:24:26 pluto wpa_supplicant[2781]: CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS
Aug  4 02:25:06 pluto wpa_supplicant[2781]: CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS
Aug  4 02:26:06 pluto wpa_supplicant[2781]: CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS
Aug  4 02:27:26 pluto wpa_supplicant[2781]: CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS
Aug  4 02:29:06 pluto wpa_supplicant[2781]: CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS
Aug  4 02:31:06 pluto wpa_supplicant[2781]: CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS
....

Those messages don't look that terribly important to me and should
probably only emitted in debug mode so they don't spam the syslog.

Cheers,
Michael
